Heavy-flavor quarks produced in proton-proton (pp) collisions provide a unique opportunity to investigate the evolution of quark-initiated parton showers from initial hard scatterings to final-state hadrons. By examining jets that contain heavy-flavor hadrons, this study explores the effects of both perturbative and nonperturbative QCD on jet formation and structure. The angular differences betwee
This paper presents a search for physics beyond the Standard Model targeting a heavy resonance visible in the invariant mass of the lepton-jet system. The analysis focuses on final states with a high-energy lepton and jet, and is optimised for the resonant production of leptoquarks — a novel production mode mediated by the lepton content of the proton originating from quantum fluctuations. Four di
Measurements of integrated and differential cross-sections for W±Z production in proton-proton collisions are presented. The data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider from 2015 to 2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV are used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. The W±Z candidate events are reconstructed using leptonic decay modes of the gauge boso
Background and ObjectivesThe number of older adults living alone is increasing globally, often with varied risks and resilience capacities. Digital technologies may help mitigate these risks, but their potential remains poorly understood. This review maps evidence on digital technologies in social and health care interventions for older adults living alone, focusing on technology types, functions,
Introduction: To increase the sustainability of healthcare, clinical trials must assess the environmental impact of interventions alongside clinical outcomes. This should be guided by Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) and Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) extensions, which will be developed by The Implementing Climate and Environmental O
Occupational exposure to the carcinogen hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] occurs during stainless steel production, welding, and chrome plating. Two sister-projects, SafeChrom and SAM-Krom, were initiated in Sweden and Denmark, respectively, to inform stakeholders, decision-makers and regulators on current occupational exposure to Cr(VI), and preventive measures prior to revision of national occupation
This study aims to assess the performance and importance of mangrove ecosystem services, focusing on supporting, provisioning, and regulating, and to investigate temporal changes in mangrove cover in Maputo Bay, Mozambique. It also examines the drivers behind these changes. The research questions address stakeholder perceptions of ecosystem services and their potential trade-offs, temporal changes
This study examines the crisis communication of the Swedish and Norwegian royal houses in relation to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. While Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) and Image Repair Theory (IRT) are built on a corporate logic of interchangeable leadership and organizational accountability, this thesis addresses an application gap: monarchies are institutions where legitimacy is
This thesis investigates the global landscape of indicators used to measure climate resilience within Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) services through a systematic mapping and gap analysis. As climate change increasingly threatens water security and public health, there is an urgent need for theoretically grounded monitoring frameworks to evaluate systemic resilience across diverse contexts.
This thesis explores the use of birding citizen science data and statistical modelling methods to support the construction of indicators for human-nature relationships. Motivated by the broader aspirational framework of the Nature Relationship Index, the study investigates how voluntary bird observation records can be processed into spatial and temporal measures suitable for statistical analysis,
Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource for various quantum information applications including quantum computing, cryptography, and teleportation. However, detecting entanglement in practice can be challenging due to noisy measurements and limited control over the systems being studied. Steering, which is a distinct nonlocal property between entanglement and bell nonlocality (the strongest
ObjectivesHuman service workers are at a greater risk for negative work and health-related outcomes due to the highly demanding nature of their work which involves unique stressors such as emotion work and routine interactions with clients. This scoping review synthesizes the current state of literature reporting on the associations of psychosocial safety climate (PSC) with human service workers’
In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) causes right ventricular pressure overload and left ventricular (LV) underfilling. We investigated LV mechanics and their prognostic value in PAH using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived LV pressure-volume (PV) loops. We included 96 patients (median age 64 years, 70% women) with PAH and clinically
Youth dropouts in organized sports present a significant challenge across different athletic disciplines worldwide. This thesis aims to uncover the driving factors behind this phenomenon in a specific setting - among youth orienteers in Sweden - using large-scale data analysis and statistical learning. The dataset used in this study consists of historical competition results spanning the years 201
Title: Empowered on Masculine Terms? Negotiating Femininity in Nike’s Empowerment Narratives Date of Seminar: 2026-06-04 Course: BUSN39 – Degree Project in Global Marketing – Master Level Authors: Klara Palklint, Johanna Östblom Supervisor: Daphne Geveke Keywords: Femvertising, empowerment, female empowerment, Nike, sports apparel, advertising, femininity Research questions: What empowerment narra
Early experiences with robotic-assisted esophagectomy showed disappointing anastomotic outcomes when techniques were directly translated from open or thoracoscopic surgery. Among intrathoracic anastomotic options in robot-assisted Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (RAMIE-IL), emerging data suggest lower complication rates with the linear stapled side-to-side technique. This method was adopted at our instit
BACKGROUND: Almost a decade ago, about half of biomedical PhD programs across Europe specifically stated that systematic reviews could not be accepted as part of a doctoral thesis, illustrating limited merit value at that time. The aim of this study was to explore current Swedish university policies on this research design.METHODS: Policy documents for PhD theses and applications to associate prof
